Disciples: Liberation

Disciples: Liberation, available now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, you’ll gradually uncover details about Avyanna as you progress through the 80-hour game. Here is Avyanna’s unfinished biography, without spoiling any late-game surprises.

Disciples: LiberationThis is the story of two dichotomies. Mortals and their Gods. Both a dark past and a promising future. Life and death. Innocence and its loss. Truth and secrecy. Heroesism and pain. And, at the center of the tale is Avyanna, herself an image of the divine and the profane. You will follow her story in real time and explore a breathing, vivid world filled with magic, mystery and political intrigue.

You will begin as a small, unnamed mercenary. Her quest will take you to sorrow, bloodshed, and finally, a strong army that is ready and willing to fight fate. Avyanna is a child of two worlds, yet part of none, who is on a journey through a dark and war-torn world and longing for a home to call her own. She fights against her past and yearns to build a place of sanctuary for herself and all the outcasts, misfits and freedom fighters of Nevendaar.

She rose from lowly beginnings and had only herself and her friend Orion to depend on. The Twilight Twins were hired mercenaries. They formed them together. This was not an easy life. They fought for every penny and slept with only one eye closed. However, it was a good thing. This made her smarter. She became a fighter because of it.

Still, Avyanna was smart enough to know this was not a life she could live forever. So, when she found the abandoned, mysterious Castle of Yllian, she decided that would be her new home. It would be a reflection of the world she wanted to live in – a beacon of strength, peace, and acceptance. It would include all races and be considered equal.

And though the world of Nevendaar is a dark and punishing place, Avyanna’s burdens are greater. She is a leader of a young nation, and she aspires to the ideals of freedom and liberty in a world that’s only known despots and tyrants. She feels her demon heritage calling to her, and she is ready to bring fire on the rest of the world.

But the world will not change so easily. Nor will the demons that lurk within it. So Avyanna found herself facing a world falling head-first into the war she helped cause. She is also facing her own dark impulses as she rises to become The Liberator.

With all of this, it’s up to you to decide what sort of leader she will become. With your army, which can be recruited from over 50 units, you’ll fight complex turn-based battles against beastly creatures, in which only proper tactics will lead to victory. Avyanna will be able to join forces with the Legion of the Damned, the Undead Hordes, the Elven Alliance and the Empire.

The most profound way to impact the story and gameplay of Disciples: Liberation is through interacting with the four factions – as Avyanna has a standing with each, and that standing influences the ending of the game.

In the game, no choice is made for you, nor does the story punish you for such choices: every choice is valid, and many options allow you to explore Avyanna’s cruelty, should you desire. Mind your choices, explore, and enjoy. And keep in mind Avyanna’s motto: “Regret later. Act now.”
